Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
This chapter combines the processes in plants photosynthesis, growth and differentiation with the processes of humus formation in the soil. Chloroplasts in leaves are responsible for phenolic products formation whereas soil micelles are the units, which could be considered as alumni-silicate matrix covered by humus envelope. The plant residues in the soil could participate in humus formation.
